Rupert Road Transfer Station

The Town of Bethlehem's Rupert Road Transfer Station provides an alternative for residents and businesses to recycle and dispose of trash instead of contracting with a private hauler - a list can be found on our Curbside Recycling Instructions page. Residents can bring their trash and other materials, such as electronics, furniture and household items, appliances, demolition and building materials, tires, and more to the facility for disposal or recycling.

Donate items to Habitat for Humanity at the Transfer Station!
Donations may be made during all regular Transfer Station hours of operation. Brochure with details

The Town no longer sells paper yard waste bags; they are available for comparable prices at many local businesses including Phillips Hardware, Hannaford, Price Chopper, Curtis Lumber, Stewarts, Lowes, Walmart and more.

New York State law requires manufacturers to take responsibility for recycling many types of electronic equipment they have produced, such as computers, computer peripherals, televisions, small scale servers, and small electronic equipment, etc. Manufacturers now provide free and convenient acceptances programs for NYS consumers to properly reuse and recycle their waste electronic equipment.

Beginning January 1, 2012, with the exception of individual and household consumers, all other NYS consumers including businesses, private or public corporations, not for profit corporations and government entities, etc. may not dispose of, or place for collection intended for disposal, electronic waste (such as computers, computer peripherals, televisions, small scale servers, and small electronic equipment, etc.) at a solid or hazardous waste management facility in the state.

Beginning January 1, 2015, this disposal ban will apply to all persons in the state, including individual and household consumers.

Consumers should visit the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation's website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/66872.html, for a full list of the types of electronic equipment covered by this law and to learn how they may properly manage their electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
